Soundtrap for Windows

Soundtrap is an accessible digital audio workstation (DAW) designed for creating both music and podcasts with real-time, remote collaboration. This software offers multi-track recording, a massive loop and virtual instrument library, and built-in mixing tools. It’s compatible across all major devices via a web browser and also offers dedicated apps, making installation optional.

Supporting both MIDI sequencing and audio editing, Soundtrap excels at promoting remote teamwork thanks to its intuitive cloud-based structure. While it competes with heavy hitters like BandLab, GarageBand, and Audacity, its unique emphasis on both music creation and comprehensive podcast production, including transcript-based editing, sets it apart as a versatile, all-in-one studio environment.

Seamless online creation

Soundtrap functions directly in any modern web browser and is fully compatible across all operating systems and devices, eliminating the need for complex software installations. Its interface is clean and modern, centered on a timeline-based arrangement view and a responsive mixer panel. This design makes the core functionality—multi-track recording, audio editing, and sound design—instantly approachable for both new and experienced producers.

Empowering your creative process

The platform’s real strength lies in its collaborative capabilities, allowing multiple users to edit the same project simultaneously in real-time. This feature, combined with automatic cloud saving and comprehensive version history, streamlines group projects whether you are producing a band’s new track or an intricate multi-voice podcast. Users can also gain access to a broad library of over 8,000 royalty-free loops and 400 virtual instruments.

This DAW operates on a tiered subscription model, starting with a generous free tier that offers basic mixing and essential editing features. However, running the platform's more powerful, professional-grade tools—such as the Antares Auto-Tune vocal correction technology and complex projects with many tracks—can be resource-intensive. This demand on system resources can lead to slower performance and occasional lag, particularly on older or less powerful computers, which can disrupt the workflow of advanced users.

Your next creative hub 

Soundtrap delivers a robust, all-in-one music and podcast production environment that is uniquely defined by its unparalleled accessibility and real-time collaboration features. Its cloud-based structure and cross-device compatibility make it an ideal choice for remote teams and beginners looking to start creating immediately. While true professional users may need powerful hardware to fully exploit the advanced features without performance issues, the core offering provides a powerful foundation for any aspiring creator.
